    They did not honor the open table waitlist. It stated we were first on list and when checked in, we were told the table was being cleaned off by the manager. Our table was given to another family by other hosts and we were told that they had reservations although this restaurant states that they do not take reservations. To rectify, the manager did seat us at a sofa seating area outside of the restaurant. We did not have a table to dine on which made it difficult to enjoy our meal but our server was very sweet and food was good. They have some major communication issues between manager and hosts and open table waitlist vs. reservations that they supposedly don’t take.

    Just go somewhere else. Service took forever and the food was meh at best. Ordered the Nashville hot chicken salad and it was served without any sauce on the chicken, just a plain, previously frozen, breaded chicken breast and a wedge salad.

    We stayed at this resort so ate here multiple times. The food is decent. Nothing to write home about. The servers and bartenders were fantastic. It could get a little loud at times with some of the crowds.

    Food was fine- tasty! Our server was a lovely gal, very kind. The noise was quite a lot, the wait was worse. We had a 7:30 reservation- waited almost 30 min for our table, took about 15 minutes at the host stand for anyone to even notice us. We ordered immediately- and it took over an hour to get our food. It’s expensive too, worth it only if you don’t feel like driving anywhere.

    Service was good- prompt and attentive. (Not busy though). Red, White, Blue salad and the tacos were fresh and great tasting. Resort prices.

    We had an OpenTable reservation at noon yesterday which was honored. We had one for tomorrow at noon which was canceled by the restaurant. When we called the restaurant we were told that they have never allowed lunch reservations. When we explained that we had a reservation and also a reservation number and a screen shot of the reservation they had no answer. We are also staying in the hotel where the restaurant is located. Astounding and almost kafkaesque experience.

    The service was TERRIBLE! Our server was very nice but not sure if she got everything wrong or the people she gave our orders to but the food was mediocre at best.
